This is the first I've heard of this, but I looked it up.  It is important to note:

 

Quote

every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.

 

Aka, whoever is the "leader", such as a husband, or in cases where they are single, man or woman.  Other residents of the household, brother, uncle, grandma, etc,  are not required to.

 

Also to add:

 

Quote

Exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who suffer a physical or mental disability which would prohibit them from using such a firearm. Further exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who are paupers or who conscientiously oppose maintaining firearms as a result of beliefs or religious doctrine, or persons convicted of a felony.

 

While I do find it preposterous to mandate owning a gun, Kennesaw is going about it in the right way.

There are exemptions from the law, including an exemption for simply not believing in keeping firearms. The law was intentionally made unenforceable and the city openly admitted this. It was a political response to some other town in the US banning guns in city limits.

An actual mandate would be ridiculous. But the way Kennesaw did it is fine, because it's not really a mandate at all.

If a city / county mandated everyone to own a firearm, that'd be ridiculous. It's just as much their right to own no firearms due to beliefs as it is my right to own twenty (which is rookie numbers boiiii)

Yes one of the requirements you have to be a homeowner
